Benefits of Juice
Eating raw
foods is a way to give your body some of the nutrition it desperately
needs. Many of us are at least slightly overweight, and even the
morbidly obese are starving for essential proteins and amino acids. All
the processed, cooked foods we eat give us only a small percentage of
what we need. Consequently, we eat and eat and yet we’re still not
nourished. Psychologists try to tell us we’re eating to make up for an
emptiness in our souls. Wrong! Our bodies our empty and trying to tell
us so.
Eating raw foods is good for us on so many levels. It’s satisfying to
eat them. They take more time to chew and swallow, so we don’t eat as
fast. And we’re getting so much more in the way of nutrition by
consuming fruits, vegetables, nuts and sprouts.
It can take time to prepare raw foods, however. Which is why a juicer
is an important addition to your kitchen once your start to be serious
about raw foods. A good juicer can process an entire apple – seeds,
stems, peel, pulp and all – and turn all that into a healthy,
nutritious juice.
 Buying
apple juice is NOT the same thing!!! Don’t even look at apple
juices or even ciders in the grocery store. Put that $2 or $3 aside and
save up for a juicer. Buy bags of apples, orange, bananas, carrots and
make your own juices to get everything from the fruit that you’d get by
eating it raw. Now you’re getting juice that’s as fresh as the fruit or
vegetable you made it from. No preservatives, no processing that strips
most of the energy from the fruit. And think of all the delicious
combinations you can make with the many tropical fruits that are
available now in most grocery stores. You can customize your fruits and
add non-typical ingredients like pumpkin to an orange juice. Now that’s
a powerhouse of a juice!..
